Philosophy for Children (P4C)
Philosophy for children is a process of critical thinking with students, which enhances self-esteem, speaking and listening and thinking skills. HEC has developed and been trialling Philosophy for Children sessions with a Global Learning focus in schools.
P4C helps to build a 'community of enquiry' where participants create and enquire into their own questions, and 'learn how to learn' in the process. It engages them in the search for meaning, enriches and extends their understanding. It strengthens thinking, reasoning skills and builds self-esteem. It helps to develop the qualities that make for good judgement in everyday life. P4C has been developed over the last 30 years and is now practised in 60 countries.
